. ADJUSTABLE CURTAIN- -CORNICE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 306,244 dated October7, 1884.

Application filed April T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HILARIUS GRI'JNDLER, a citizen of Germany, residingat Frankfort-011- the-Main, in the Empire of Germany, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Curtain Cornices andCurtain Knob-Pins; and I do hereby declare the fol-- lowing to be afull, clear, and exact description skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front view of the base orwall plate. Fig. 2 is a face view of a sliding piece fitting said plate.Fig. 2 is a side view of a projecting arm or bracket adjustable on thebase-plate. Figs. 3 and 3 are side views of an adjustable slide fittingthe bracket shown in Fig. 4. Fig. at is a side view showing the elementsof Figs. 1, 2, 2, 3, connected together. Fig. 5 is a side viewillustrating a modification of my invention. Fig. 6 is a per spectiveview of my improvement.

This fastener consists of a fiat metal box, A, Fig. 1, having ahorizontal slit, a, in the middle, destined to take up the movable pieceting to the hole f. of the small plate f, is riveted to the latter, andglides horizontally to the right or left in the slit, (plate f doing thesame within the interior of the box,) and can be fixed in its desiredposition by the thumb'nut C. The piece B,which has equally a slit, b,takes up a second piece, D, Figs. 3 and 3*, which, by means of ascrewand thumb- :nut, E, can be placed and fixed at the wanted 15, 1884. (Nomodel.)

distance from the wall. The advantage of the system is that at everychange of the inhabt tants of an apartment the whole eontrivance canremain fastened to the wall, because it 0 will suit as well the partiesentering into as those removing from the apartment, while now, becauseof the differentlengths and forms of the curtain-cornices, people areaccustomed to pull the pins out of the wall and to take 5 them to theirnew abode. The consequenceis the gradual destruction of the wall and ofthe paper, avery common and notorious inconvenience. The same box Aserves for the knobpin fastener, Fig. 5; but the place of the piece B istaken there by a long screw, 9, on which the knob is screwed. Said screwg is fastened to the box identically like the piece B.

In order to give more solidity to the knob in case its fillet should beused up or be too large, the small piece G, forming a knee, is suspendedupon the screw g, and by means of the binding-screw serves to prop theknob.

I claim- The combination, with the box A, furnished with the horizontalslit a, of the piece B, having a slit, 6, and supporting the movablepiece D, and the thumb-nuts C and E, as described and shown, and for thepurposes set forth.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HILARIUS GRCNDLER.
